The Sea of Lost Things Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 18 ratings

Charlotte Reynolds is no stranger to loss. After a car accident took her parents, she was raised by her maternal grandfather. Six months ago, she lost him too. At thirty-one, with no living relatives, Charlotte finds herself alone in the world.

That is until she opens the box.

Her grandfather’s possessions have sat in the corner, untouched since his passing. Inside, she discovers a letter, and in it a secret he kept for over seventy years. A love story, that began on D-Day, between he and a French woman, and ended with the birth of her mother.

With no one left to ask who the mysterious woman could be, Charlotte decides to drop everything and go to France to uncover the truth for herself. Soon after arriving, it becomes clear that her search won’t be easy. Things are complicated further when Jonah Emmerson shows up at the B&B. The handsome but arrogant Brit takes an almost instant disliking to her. A feeling, that she discovers, is mutual.

Charlotte vows to keep clear of him, but when he unexpectedly offers to help with her search, she finds herself accepting, a decision that sets them on an adventure across the quaint countryside and stunning coastline of Normandy. As they visit different townships for answers, an attraction builds between them, the tension thawing into something else entirely.

But with every step that brings them closer, the past follows. And while Charlotte may be searching for hers, Jonah is running from his.

Sometimes, looking back is the only way forward.

    This wonderful book has been staring me down from its place on my kindle for the last month. I found it via a favorite blog’s annual Valentine’s event and it called to my heart.

    I read The Sea of Lost Things in a sitting, it is a story that pulls you right in. It is a Love story in the best possible way. Charlotte is a heroine who is at loose ends and the journey to uncover this hidden family is the very thing she needs to regain her footing. I loved strength and commitment to seeing it through. So powerfully good.

    I love the kind of book where a character gets to travel to an intriguing destination which sets the stage for the journey and opens up all kinds of possibilities. This is that kind of story. Charlotte has no family anymore but finds a letter her grandfather wrote when he was a young man to a woman that bears the same name as her and lived in France. At a crossroads in her life, Charlotte embarks on a trip to find more about this woman. She stays at a cozy B&B and meets Jonah there, the British accented man who makes her blood boil with his rudeness and smirks. However, Jonah offers to help her on her quest and as they get to know each other, Charlotte sees a completely different side of him. There's a bit of war time history infused in this as well as explorations of some really cool locations that make me want to start planning my own trip there. Charlotte's hunt for this mysterious woman really drew me in because I was curious as to what kind of information would come from this, if any, and I really hoped she could find the answers she was looking for. As for Charlotte and Jonah, I also wanted to see if Charlotte would follow her heart after having closed it off from previous loss, grief and disappointment and to unravel whatever secret that Jonah was possibly hiding. Definitely an engaging debut book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ!
    Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2019
    I adored this book!! It was a beautiful story that had me smiling and laughing at times while touched and tearful at others. I loved how Kelly intertwined both fact and fiction and developed a love story that felt only too real. I loved her attention to detail that brought the characters to life and had me totally lost in the story. I genuinely could not put this book down! Its an absolute MUST READ! I’m so excited for her next book.
